Find and Replace in multiple subdirectories

FFatih SH

Hello ,

I would like to replace a text in a php file in multiple subdirectory like

C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\file.php

Hmmm, I don’t see multiple subdirectories here…can you expand upon what you’ve said?

Peter will chastise me as I’m not one to guess, but I’m gonna do it because my previous post was misleading…

@FFatih-SH , are you talking about wanting to do this at these levels:

C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\
C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\Folder2\
C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\

(see, I turned it into a multiple subdirs question)

Yeah thats what I need to accomplish, I need Notepad plus plus to go deeper inside sub directories (more than -1 level)

So then in the Find in Files tab of the Find window, you would locate a checkbox for “subfolders” and tick it. Then you would specify C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\ as the “directory”…

When you get it all set up, you press the Replace in Files button…
